About 100 men have applied for sssis-

SIS so, according to the present needs.
About $500 of the $3.50 left here by the
drouth committee has been expended
among the hundred men who have already
applied. A noticeable feature about this
distribution is that all the men
who have presented their orders
to the grocer who is furnishing them the
,tions on those orders have asked for
the coarsest food that could be had, such
as corn meal and the very cheapest -four
in the market. This seems to be conclu-
sive evidence that they are in need and
that they realize the seriousness of the
situation since they want food that will
go farthest.
